Two of Seoul’s most buzzing DJs, Co.kr and H4rdy, team up for an explosive EP that seems to throw every style of UK club music into a blender, with infectiously fun results. The title track “Top Shotta” features Grime MC Logan_olm, who comes in after a completely unexpected guitar interlude and destroys the track. “Toma” somehow combines speed garage, baile funk, early dubstep and hard house, and it works. On “Serious”, UK MC NyNy rides a tom-heavy track straight into pirate airwaves. And “Check Ma Style” brings an upbeat, Hi-NRG vibe to the party. This whole EP is the result of Co.kr and A-Trak meeting at a gig in Seoul and the spontaneity of the project is palpable all throughout.

South Korea knows how to party! After Co.kr met A-Trak at a gig in Seoul, the two kept in touch, which led to Co.kr creating this EP for Fool’s Gold with his buddy H4rdy. The pair are influenced by UK club music, and they pay homage on “Top Shottas” by featuring the highly respected Logan_olm, but what’s fun is also hearing how they flip the tropes of garage and jungle on their heads and aren’t afraid to have fun.

CHROMEDIES put a hardgroove spin on A-Trak’s bassline-heavy “Like I Said”, the lead single from his SP1200 project 10 Seconds Vol. 3. The brainchild of Manila Killa and Hotel Garuda, CHROMEBODIES has been making noise this year and they lend a few extra womps to this remix too. Turn the tempo up, it’s party time.

A-Trak cooked up another batch of raw SP1200 bangers and this 3rd installment is extra crunchy. Using the vintage sampler that helped define the sound of Todd Terry, Stardust and Kenny Dope, and working within the confines of its extremely short sample time, Trizzy went to work and concocted some gold. Whether it’s the insanely funky bassline of Like I Said, the hardgroove chugging of JustCantLive or the surprising techno bump of Jyeah, this EP is full of weapons. It’s obvious that A-Trak had a smirk on his face when he was cutting up those kicks and hats.
